Feliz - Venezuelan Dwarf BCC. Feliz means happy in Spanish, and this species is know for being calm and inquisitive. Feliz is no exception. He's a total sweetie but a fantastic eater.
Yafe - Albino Carpet Python (50% IJ and 50% Darwin). Yafe means handsome in Hebrew. He is incredibly handsome with orange and peach tones in addition to his yellows. He also has the most amazing reddish eyes with great contrast and different shades.
Ferry - Chewie Lizard. Named him after Ferdinand Porsche, also known as Ferry. Porsche is my favorite car.
Ezzy - Leachie. She's mostly green and Katie named her Ezzy, or Esmeralda, for green in Spanish.
Toref - Freckled Tree Monitor (Varanus Tristis Orientalis). Toref means predator/devourer in Hebrew. He's like a little Raptor, but also climbs like crazy and is quick! Maybe should have named him Peter Parker (AKA Spiderman).
Toref(et) went back to her old home and is doing great. It wasn't a good fit.
The new guy, Jeff Shemesh, is an awesome fit though!
He's blonde and blue eyed like my best friend, Jeff, and like Jeff Ronne, who's been a mentor to me with boas. Shemesh means "sun" in Hebrew.
Here's Jeff. He's a VPI T+ Sunglow, Motley, and Jungle, BI.

Re: How did your snake get its name?
All my pets have magick/mythic related names, and so I knew that her name would have to follow the same theme.
We wound up going with Sahira, which is the Arabic word for Sorceress. :)
At some point I am hoping to obtain a female BEL, which I will name Beltaine (hehe get it? BELtaine? LOL)
I am currently in the process of obtaining a super black pastel male which I will name Shruikan. For those who don't recognize that name, it was the name of the massive black dragon from the Inheritance Cycle. If you haven't ever read those books, I HIGHLY recommend them. Any fantasy lover will love them.
Re: How did your snake get its name?
My first snake Rhona (pacific gopher snake) named after a legendary creature card from MTG because we were playing magic at the time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2dc900423c.jpg
Sammi named after Samuel Jackson from snakes on a plane, just because it was funny. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d5ff124889.jpg
Desmond (brook’s king snake) because I liked the name and didn’t know what else to name him. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1b1fc70533.jpg
Itztli (MBK) because google said it was Aztec for obsidian knife. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f40605feb4.jpg
And soon to be my Cali king, I’m thinking I want to name Juniper? Sound good?? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f4d24c244e.jpg

I call my KSB Spotticus because he has spots (not so clever, but I thought the name was. ;) )
Re: How did your snake get its name?
My story is so long lol!
I wanted a yellow bp and I wanted the name to be something space related. When I got my snake, I had never seen one like him and he looked like he came from out of this world so I knew it had to be space related! I went through many names until I came across Cassini. It's a spacecraft that explored Saturn and its moons. My snake was yellow, the spacecraft was yellow, Saturn is yellow, so it stuck. Also Saturn is my favorite planet and it has rings, which plays into the next part of his name.
He has a giant white spot on his head. It looks like a halo, so his second name is corona which means "halo or crown". So his name means "Saturn's Crown" We call him CC and I love his name. He is getting bullied in snake school though bc his second name is corona. (I named him way before the virus existed LOL)
